"BIOHAZARD 3 LAST ESCAPE" Limited Edition Development Story
The "BIOHAZARD" series is one of the most popular horror games of all time.
The series' popularity stems from the high level of perfection in the games of course, but the realism of the guns and the power that comes through the screen is undoubtedly a major pillar of its popularity.
As part of CAPCOM's "BIO Project", Tokyo Marui produced the "BIOHAZARD 2 / Desert Eagle .50AE" and the "10' Custom Desert Eagle .50AE", both of which became explosive hits like few others in recent years, creating a whirlwind of excitement in the air gun market.
Then, in September 1999, "BIOHAZARD 3 ~LAST ESCAPE~" was released. In the advertising media, a CG depiction of "Jill Valentine" appeared, hinting at the further evolution of the game's content, with a gun in her hand... Yes, this was the beginning of a new project by the "BIO Project" team of Tokyo Marui and CAPCOM.
The development of the M92F/S.T.A.R.S. Custom "Samurai Edge" by the strongest tag team proceeded secretly with quality surpassing the previous works. At the same time as the release of the software, its production was announced, and its form was gradually revealed at the "Tokyo Game Show" and the "Plastic Model/Radio Control Fair." And the response was amazing!
Since announcing development, we've received a storm of questions, queries, and calls of love both directly and indirectly. The number of inquiries exceeded our expectations and the development team was forced to renew their belief that "we can't go against expectations." While almost overwhelmed by the pressure, they continued to make improvements to appearance, performance, and operability, and one year and three months after the release of the previous 10-inch Custom, all of Tokyo Marui's technology was poured into the creation of the Samurai Edge. The Samurai Edge product was born. We hope you'll take the time to enjoy its ultimate beauty.

"BIOHAZARD 3 LAST ESCAPE" M92F/ST.A.R.S. Custom "Samurai Edge"
In BIOHAZARD 3 LAST ESCAPE, Jill Valentine makes an impressive return to the lead role. In her hand is the M92F/S.T.A.R.S. Custom Samurai Edge.
The Tokyo Marui development staff has faithfully recreated this gem of master craftsman Joe Kendo down to the last detail and brought it to you. First of all, please open the silver box and take it in your hands. The origin of the Samurai Edge is its distinctive slide. In order to withstand the rigors of actual combat, the adopted Brigadier Style slide lock was widened. It is only with this slide that the enhanced bullets that appear in the game, which are very powerful but also put a significant strain on the gun itself, can be used. Both sides are engraved with "S.T.A.R.S." and "Custom Shop Kendo." Combined with the stainless silver finish of the barrel, it creates a vivid dual tone. The combination of a matte black slide with a sharp silhouette and the cold metallic luster of the barrel evokes the image of a "samurai blade." In addition, the "Hybrid Custom Grip", a marvelous combination of stylistic beauty and functionality, features the "S.T.A.R.S. Gold Medallion", a sign of a chosen one. Holding this grip is the same as holding on to your "pride." And with a sharp recoil, the bullets are fired with a hop-up system to ensure accurate hits. Combined with the "Tactical Combat Sight Group" which has white dots for quick sighting, it'll be the most reliable companion you can have.
Your new story begins when you pick up the Samurai Edge.
